Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Decelerating Devices.
IPC: B60T7/12
Filed: 1917-08-14
Abstract: 117,959. British Thomson-Houston Co., (General Electric Co). Aug. 14, 1917. Fluid-pressure. - Means for automatically maintaining a constant rate of speed reduction or deceleration in stopping a vehicle comprises an inertia governor adapted to regulate the degree of application of the brakes. The governor comprises a car 10 running upon a curved track 11 and provided with three pairs of wheels 14 adapted to contact respectively with conducting strips or areas 15, 16, 17 connected to the line wire L and the leads k, l of brake valves V, W. To compensate for gradients in the vehicle track, the track 11 of the governor car 10 is carried by a second car 12 normally free to run upon a track 13 fixed upon the vehicle. The position of the car 10 on the track 11 is thus unaffected by gradients. The car 12 is adapted to be locked in position upon the track 13 during the operation of the governor by an electrically actuated brake arranged in series or multiple with the valves V, W. The connexions of the strips 15, 16, 17 with the wires L, k l may be effected by trollys 24 on the car 12 arranged to contact with conducting strips on the track 13. To enable the governor to be set for a predetermined deceleration, the end parts 30, 31 of the track 11 are pivoted so that the inclination thereof can be adusted as by screws 34, 35. When it is desired to stop the vehicle with the aid of the governor, the driver's valve E is moved to energize the line L. The valve V being connected to the line L through the strips 15, 16 is immediately actuated to admit air from the supply pipe A to the brake cylinder B C, the holding-valve W being de-energized and open at this time. When the deceleration has reached the predetermined valve the holding-valve W will be energized by the bridging of the contacts 15, 17 by the car 10 whereby the pressure fluid supply is cut off. If the deceleration exceeds this valve, the valves V, W will be de-energized and air will be released from the brake cylinder by the valve V. The device may be embodied in a brake system comprising the usual train-pipe, triple valves, and auxiliary reservoirs, the supply pipe A being connected to an additional train-pipe connected to the main reservoirs.

Title: Improved process for the production of disulphides
IPC: C07D277/78
Filed: 1942-08-20
Abstract: Organic disulphides containing thiazole or thiuram groups are prepared from an aqueous solution of a mercapto thiazole or a dithiocarbamic acid by subjecting the aqueous solution to simultaneous agitation and aeration by an oxidizing agent such as air or oxygen, the pH value being maintained at the figure given by an aqueous solution of a normal salt of the organic reactant. The organic reactant preferably consists of an alkali or an alkaline earth metal salt of the thiazole or the dithiocarbamate. The reaction may also, if desired, be facilitated by subjecting the reaction solution to the action of an alternating electric current.  Suitable temperatures mentioned are between 50 DEG  C. and 100 DEG  C., and a suitable pH is that corresponding to a reading of 500-600 millivolts as measured by a standard antimony-saturated calomel electrode system.  A series of examples are given in which mercaptabenzothiazole is oxidized to thiuram disulphide under various particular conditions within the scope of the general conditions described above.

Filed: 1947-05-07
Abstract: 623,509. Sewing-machines. SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. May 7, 1947, No. 12409. Convention date, Feb. 6. [Class 112] [Also in Group XXIV] The drive for a reciprocating trimmer knife 40 is actuated from the needle drive shaft 25, and includes a centrifugal governor 200 to vary the frequency of reciprocation of the knife with respect to that of the needle. The shaft 96, driven from the needle drive shaft by bevel gears, carries a pulley 95 having flanges 103, 104 the distance apart of which is controlled by the governor. The governor is mounted on the shaft 96 and is so arranged that increase in the shaft speed increases the distance apart of the flanges. A linkage 127, 129, 130 transmits a converse movement to the flanges 86, 87 of a pulley 85 mounted on a shaft 63 and driven from the pulley 95 by a belt 90. The shaft 63 has an eccentric 62 reciprocating the knife bar 36 through toggle links 53, 54 which are held in the straightened position by a stop 57 and a spring-loaded pin 58. With the machine running at under 1,000 stitches per minute the pulleys are in the position shown in Fig. 4 and the trimmer knife reciprocates twice as fast as the needle. Increase in the machine speed reduces the relative speed of knife to needle until they have the same speed. The trimmer bar is lifted to the inoperative position by turning a lever 70 anti-clockwise Fig. 1, to break the toggle. A stop 78 on a latch 77 pivoted on the lever co-operates with the lower side of a pin 79 to hold the lever and knife inoperative. Specification 455,001 is referred to.
